BELyIDERE, N. J., Feb. Intelligence
has just reached here by messengers from
Pahaquarry township of the formation ofan
immense ice gorge in the Delaware river
near Shawnee, Pa, above the Delaware
water gap. The ice is piled up to q height
of so feet and the water has been forced out
of its natural channel and has overf1owed
the low lands. Dwelling houses are nearly
submerged. The house of Peter Michaels
ia under water to the second story. Mr..
Mchaels had to fly to the mountains with
his family and stock Another fani lily
named Dimmick are living in the barn with
their horses and cattle. Mr.. Dimmick'a
father, man upwards of 90 years old, says
he has never seen anything like the present
state of affairs in the Delaware. Should
there be sudden thaw the destruction of
property throughout the valley would be
appalling.

RaiIroad Accidenta.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 3-Two delayed
express trains which had been consolidated
at Dickerson, Dakota, met with serious
accident yesterday afternoon about three
miles east of Saltwater, Mont. The trains
had been delayed by the heavy snow and
had been running very fast, but slowed up
as they reached the narrow space between
high bluff and Yellowstone river at the
point mentioned, where they struck
broken rail. The engine and mail car pass
ed safely over the rail, which was broken in
several places. The baggage, express, one
emigrant and one first class Car we're
thrown over the banks of the river, dis
lance of about IS feet, and landed upon their
sides on the ice badly demoralized. All the
passengers escaped injury and no fires &C.
Cured. Another accident happened Oh the
Northern Pacific railroad near Garrison.
Two engines with snow pillow were ditch
ed. One engineer named Frank Jones was
killed, and it Is claimed ten men were Sc.
rousy injured. Physicians left here last
evening. Nothing more can be learned, az
there are no arrivals and the railroad PEG.
pie will not give any information.
OMAHA, Neb., Feb. 3.-A dispatch from
Echo, Utah. says the west bound passenger
train collided in the yard there with
freight train last night. Lewis Bemis, en-.
gineer of the freight, was killed, his lower
extremities being literally ground of. He
died in twenty minutes. Two men in the

THE WEST TRIAL was resumed 10 Wash
ington, Yesterday, with Mrs. Page on the
stand. She testified to loaning West 500,
and also to receiving an offer of marriage
from him, which she rejected. Mrs. Page
mother of the previous witness, told the
story of the assault, and she was followed
by her two little granddaughter, VINO gave
corroborative testimony. Officer Maddox
testified to finding bottle Of chlorotorm,
and DR.. S. +. Ware identified the bottle as
the same one he sold to West NJ O'Clock
ON the evening of the assault. DIR. B:om,
we'll testified to dressing Mrs. Pages inju-
ries. and he said that now she was mere
wreck from no other cause than the assault
of the night of Nov 10th last. Other wit
uesses for the government swore to unlm-
portant matters, which closed the govern
ment's case. The defence submitted num-
her of afidavits taken at Vests old home
in Massachusetts, which say that frequently
during sickness his mind had been affected.
During the trial Mrs. Page said Il never
gave this man any encouragement whatever
in any manner, shape or form. He worked
upon my feelings, saying he was cut on from
the kind of people he cared for by the accl
dent of BIRTH but, worse than that, be
worked on my feelings and here the tears
fell fast through my religion, and treated
him more kindly in consequence. His pres.
ents refused his attentions rejected and
I treated him as only lady would have
treated him, and in no other way"

Indiana senator.

The Indiana Senate at 10 o'clock yesterday
proceeded to the hall of the House of Representa-
tives, and the sixteenth ballot for United States
Senator was begun. The call of the House pro-
ceeded without interruption until the name of
Robinson was reached, when that gentleman rose
and said that he now convinced that it was
hopeless to endeavor TO elect as Senator any
man not member of one of the two great parties,
and as his constituents were urgent in their de-
mands, he had decided to cast his ballot for David
Turpie. This announcement was greeted with
wildly enthusiastic cheers from the democrats.
Messrs. Gates, Glover and Mackey, republican la
Dor members, then made brief explanations and
cast their ballots for Harrison, the vote standing

pie received 81 and Harrison is; in the House

from the 4th Of March next. Speaker Sayre de-
clared President Smith was a usurper. and had
no right to make such announcement as president
Of the joint convention, but the Speakers re-
marks were unheeded and the announcement
made as above. After the announcement of the
vote hr. Gardiner rep moved that the joint con-
vention adjourn until noon to-day. Speaker
Ssyre put the motion and declared it carried 1t

ALEX CAMBRIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 3.

The FACT that Mrs. Page allowed the ne
gro West, who subsequently knocked her
down and attempted to outrage her, to kiss
her hand, and to pick her stray hairs from
her dress and keep them, and to ask her to
marry him, is striking sermon, in a few
words, of the debasing effect the new fan
gled system of putting women in positions
dependent upon the favor of men, white or
black, over them, has upon the morals OF
the country. Mrs. Page was poor woman
with a family dependent upon her for sup
port. She had been promoted by the favor
BILE reports made of her by West, the negro
chief of her division in the Interior Depart
ment at Washington. and knowing that ne
also had the power either to cause her TO
be reduced to lower grade or to remove
her altogether, she, Southern lady born and
bred, was compelled to submit to his gross
insults without complaint, lest she might
proyoke him TO exercise that power, ard
thus take the bread and meat from the
mouths OF her aged mother and her helpless
children.

RETALIAToRY MEAsUREs.-A good rail-
road authority states that the railroad and
other companies which have been included
in the strike troubles at New York have
determined to investigate the origin of the
strikes, and for that purpose have had
secret detective force at work for some time.
They intend to discover who are tie origin
ators of the strike, not for the desire to
punisb those who have been led into the
Strike, but to show that the instlgators are
men who have not done stroke OF work
for wears, but whose vocation it is to cause
strikes, in order that they may obtain a liv
ing thereby. Il will also be proven that
the majority of the men who are engaged IN
the strikes are opposed to them that they
have so informed the companies for whom
thew formerly worked, and for the safety OF
their lives were compelled to join the move
ment. It will be further shown that the
instigators are without character or princi
ME. and that they are enriching themselves
at the expense of those who are idle. When
The detectives have completed their work
these facts will be given publicity.

THE SOUTHERN TELEGRAPH LINE.-A
New York dispatch says; THE Southern
Telegraph Company, which was sold under
foreclosure proceedings at Richmond Va,
Tuesday, was bought in the interest of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, which
has owned a majority of the bonds for near
ly year. The price at which the property
sold was $3.50, 600, but the price would have
been carried considerable higher, it is said
if the United Lines Company, whose last bid
was $4,000, had continued the contest.
The acquisition of the actual control does
not affect the relations of the companies,
because a contract was made between them
oven before the Western Union bought a
majority of the bonds. Since that time the
contract has been modified to meet the
wishes of the Western Union Company,
which was known 10 be the actual owner OF
the property. The sale now gives the COM
pany the legal ownership"
